FxWirePro: BTC/EUR short set-up on flurry of bearish patterns amid stringent EU regulations

It seems an ideal time for deploying short hedges in BTCEUR as the major crypto pair has continued its bearish streaks consecutively on 3rdday in a row. The pair has shown considerable dips from highs of 5,725.54 to the 5,551 levels (of almost 3.04%).

While US SEC has kept declining ETF proposals, eyeing on stringent regulatory framework, Euroarea regulations have been no exception, it has been equally firm. For an instance, recently, the funds realized from the Bittrex investment could fast-track Palladium’s goal of obtaining a majority stake in a European bank. Its issue of a tokenised convertible warrant is regulated by a prospectus approved by the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA) and subject to stringent EU rules.

European cryptocurrency exchange Blockchain.io intends to be meticulously audited and regulatory-compliant accounting records to abide by both their jurisdiction and international laws. 

Technically, BTCEUR has formed Spinning top and hanging man patterns at 5,718.55 and 5,680 levels respectively, these bearish pattern candlesticks nudge the prices below 7DMAs, for now, more slumps likely only below 21DMAs as the overbought pressures signalled by both RSI & Stochastics on daily terms.

In addition to that, technical indicators on this timeframe, indecisive but bearish bias.

Strong support at this juncture is observed at 5,405.23 levels, stiff resistance is at 5,682.58 levels.

Thereby, one can achieve alluring risk reward ratio.
